SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Tatent No; 742,246, dated October27,- 1953;

Application filed Jahnary 15, 1903. serial No. 139,224. (to model) poleby means of a double-cord pulley arranged in such a way that the windingtakes place in an easy and simple manner. A con:

structional form is shown on the drawings, wherein- Figure 1 representsthe awning let down; Figure 2 shows the awning rolled up halfway withthe side flaps folded up below the awning. Figs. 3 and 4 illustratedetails.

The awning consists of the front piece 1 and the side flaps 2. The pole17 around which the awning is to be wound is'placed above the window tobe protected by the awning and carries two sheaves 3, firmly fixed' uponthe pole and to which the cords 4 are fastened. After being wound aroundthe sheaves these cords run through eyes 5' and 6 and are connected tothe ring 7, to which a larger ring 8 is fastened. Further, thecorreached its uppermost position.

ners 9 of the side flaps 2 are fastened to cords 10, which run throughan eye of the main' awning, preferably in the form of an opening 11 inthe center of the awnings front piece 1, thence up and around the sheave12, and are connected to the ring 13, whence a single cord 14 passesthrough the eye 15.

The cord-pulley acts in the following manner: By pulling at the cord 14the side flaps 2 will be laid fiat to the under side of the awningsfront piece, as shown in Fig. 2. The ring 7 is arranged thus that thering 13 will touch it just at this very moment. By a continued pull atthe cord 14 the ring 13 will press upon the ring 7, and the cords 4 willthereby revolve the pole 17, and thus wind the awning upon it until thehole' 11 has The eye 15 is placed thus that the ring 13 will reach thiseye 15 just at this very moment. Thecord 14 is now released and the ring8 pulled until the awning is completely wound-upon the pole 17 and thering 8 has reached the button 16, upon which it is hooked, while thecords 10 at the'same time will be wound around the middle of the closedawning. By this arrangement the advantage is moreover obtained that theawning can be easily and securely unrolled by unhooking the ring 8 fromthe button and pulling at the cord 14,

whereby the cords 10, wound around the mid-- dle of the pole, will turnit round and the awning unfolded until the hole 11 comes free, The cord14 is now released, and the awning will by its own weight unfold itselfcompletely;

Having now particularly described my'said invention and in whatmannerthe same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:

1. The combination of a rodor roller, a main awning having side flapsadapted to be wound up with theawning on said roller, a cord woundaround a drum or sheave on said rod or roller to rotate the same to windup the awning, cords for folding the side flaps against the main awningone connected to each flap and passing through an eye or opening of themain awning, and engaging means moving with the side-flap cords forengaging the roller-cord to move the same after preliminary movement ofthe side-flap cords sufficient to fold said flaps against the mainawning. I r

2. The combination of a rod .or roller, a main awning having sideflapsadapted to be wound up with the awning on said roller, a cord woundaround a drum or sheave on said rod or roller to rotate the same to windup the awning, cords for folding the side flaps against the main awningone connected to main awning having side flaps adapted to be wound upwith the main awning on said roller, cords Wound at one end around adrum or sheave at each end of the rod or roller for rotating the same toWind up the awning and connected at their other end to a ring or eye,cords for folding the side flaps against the main awning one connectedto each flap passing through an eye or opening of the main awning; andleading through the ring or eye to which the roller-cords are connectedand engaging means moving with the side-flap cords for engaging saidring or eye to move the roller-cords after preliminary movement of theside-flap cords sufficient to fold said. flaps against the main awning,but leaving the roller-cords free to operate the roller to wind up theawning and with it the side-flap cords after the eye or opening on themain awning has reached the roller.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing Witnesses.
